Here are some interesting statistics on how much the average illegal immigrant costs the American people. This is pretty important considering there is a immigration bill about to be passed that could legalize 12 million illegal immigrants. Here are the interesting fact that I found on this website:
1. $11 Billion to $22 billion is spent on welfare to illegal aliens each year.

10. The illegal aliens in the United States have a crime rate that’s two
